Early Byzantine Copper Coins (EBCC): The Online Catalogues
Two different online versions of the catalogue are available.
Click on the “2016” button below to see the whole text of the book “Early Byzantine Copper Coins” as it was published in 2016. The errors contained in the book have been corrected.
Click on the “2025” button to see an updated digital (online only) version of the collection catalogue.
This 2025 digital catalogue describes about 2800 coins the majority of which (about 2500 coins) were given to the Dumbarton Oaks Museum in Washington DC between 2020 and 2022.
The arrangement of the 2025 digital catalogue is quite different to that of the 2016 published version. The number of chapters has been expanded to 41. The chapters of this edition have been recast in a more austere version of the modified sylloge. The information on each coin incorporates: a single font, minimal punctuation; and the descriptive section set out in a more economical format that still enable the reasonably experienced numismatist to research a particular coin in more detail. (That is, the major catalogue references; the weight, the EBCC number if appropriate; and the unique accession number.) The structure of the chapters has also been simplified – mint followed by date or period of issue being the most obvious and uniform attribute.
